Soil, geology & water in Sellersburg
Sellersburg sits inland from the river on Clark County's gently rolling terrain. FEMA's study notes steep elevation drops near streams, which make runoff quite rapid. Silver Creek and its tributaries can bring fast storm runoff to lower lots, and the area's shallow clay soils swell when wet.

Common questions
Why is my newer Sellersburg home cracking?
Settling of backfill around new foundations and clay movement are common causes. Small drywall cracks can be normal, but widening cracks or sticking doors should be inspected.
Do Sellersburg homes need crawl space encapsulation?
Not always. Get moisture readings. Humid summers often make vented crawl spaces damp.
